The Bohemian oats man called on us lately, and
of course we listened to his proposition Gall the
time thinking that if he makes sale, he will
have to be very smart). After his story was told,
he received the answer that we did not deal in
futures of that kind, and deemed it unadvisable.
One of our citizens was duped in the purchase of
five bushels. With all the information about
such schemes it is certainly strange that our farm
ers will permit themselves to be victimized.
It seems that reports from your correspondents
respecting the laying out of money in the way OF
building improvements, guide to our asses
sors, who fail not to add an additional assessment
and cause more taxes to be paid by the owner,
whom the law reaches because he thus invests his
money, and in case of non-payment OF taxes, his
| improvements are held, whilst another man OF
equal worth in bonds non-taxable personal
property, does not help in bearing the expenses

Towsontown's Water Project--Good
| Progress Being Made.-The Artesian Well
Company of Towsontown having been regularly
incorporated, with DR.. Jackson Piper president,
is now fully prepared to enter upon active bust
| ness. Several experts in the sinking of artesian
wells this week inspected the grounds and the
| company finds, according to the opinions of these
experts, that it is not limited in its selection to
any locality, but have several eligible sites to
| select from.
| number of shares have already been taken
and commendable spirit of enterprise and liber-
atty on the part of the citizens is manifested. 1t
is the duty of every individual to help this enter
prise, it opens up new business boom for Tow
sontown. At present business is dull, credit is the
| rule and cash payments the exception. Improve
the town and money must flow in. The work of
the new company promises to give employment to
many men in laying pipes, constructing cistern,
&C., and this alone will be of great benefit to the
| business interests of the town. Let refuse
to take share more because of the expense
1t is the duty of every citizen to lend his assist
ance to enterprise that must be of incalculabe
benefit to the town. It is absolutely imperative
that our citizens give their assistance in this move
ment. After water is found land all the experts
agree in saying that it will be at moderate cost
subscriptions to the capital stock of the company
will flow in readily enough What the company
requires and the citizens must do is to start the

Terrible Accident in a Distillery-An-
other Unnecessary Inquest.--A horrible ac-
cdent occurred in Messrs Cummings Kenp's
distillery, at Melvale, Northern Central R. R.,
about noon on Wednesday. John Gussman is
cooper in the dstillery and lives near by. On
Wednesday his little six-year-old son was sent to
call him to dinner and in passing through the still
room he approached too near some of the machi- |
merry, which caught his clothing and hurled him |
around shaft until his brains were beaten out |
The engineer noticed peculiar jerking about the
machinery and upon going to investigate the |
cause, found the child's body twisted about the |
shaft, while all around was spattered with blood.
The machinery was stopped and the clothing had |
to be cut before the child could be released, when
the mutiated body was carried to the house of its |
grief-stricken parents. Justice Daley held an in
quest and the jury rendered verdict of accidental
death.

the expense of an inquest when there oc-
casion in the world for holding one. The Com
missioners, when the bill is presented, should aS
ly refuse to pay, they should do in many other |
similar cases, where death is plainly the result Of
accident and where the services of coroner are
not necessary. Once the Commissioners give the
magistrates of the county to understand that they
will not pay for every inquest, there will be fewer
of them held and the county will save money.
This inquest business is being run in the ground
and it is quite time to call a halt.
